Texas Polygamy Ranch...

Ok so I addressed the news about the Texas Polygamist ranch child custody case a couple days ago. I came across this article in the NY Times. There's a ton of information about the case and individual instances in this lengthy article.

There just seems to be more and more evidence that illegal acts are more possible than ever to have occured on the ranch with underage kids. But I just can't help thinking it's still very very sad how these YOUNG kids were whisked away from their families how they were.

I understand that it was for safety reasons of course for the kids, but the fact that the court overturned this ruling based on no evidence just proves for controversy in this case.

That's definitely not to say court rulings are always just and valid. But, these children will be affected for the rest of their lives because of this, not to mention their exposure from the huge media spotlight.
